Well I got real tired of the non-functionality of my Exaktor table-saw blade guard system. It was hard to see what I was cutting & a real pain to many times when cutting smaller things or with the fence closer to the blade. I like to use my Grippers & other shop made push devices. I do have a Delta splitter which I didn't have installed at the time of the pictures. I am not concerned with dust collection at the guard. But I do value my fingers. I figure if this guard can do one thing real well it should be guarding & protecting my fingers. I don't think I've ever seen a guard that does both guard & DC real well too.
This improvement make it possible to move part or all of the guard out of the way. Yes I know it looks something like the Delta guard system :) I will admit to looking real hard at an on line picture of a Delta guard system.:D I can just slide the material forward & the guard slides up & over onto the top of the material & at the back just slides right off & back onto the table.
